tence.-A few weeks ago negro named George
Williams was arrested on the charge of an at
tempted felonous assault ON Mrs. Ridley, of Wood
berry, in Druid Hill Park, and also with robbing
her of a small sum of money. Williams afterwards

charges and Judge Yellott sentenced him to fifteen

THE APPLE SEED.

C. A. M. Webb, in Boston Transcript.
Come hither and listen; tale I'll relate
OF little brown seed and its wonderful fate
In heart of an apple in autumn twas found,
Then was buried deep down in the dark, silent
ground.
The frost soon enshrouded its own little bed,
And SHOWS drifted DER it. by chilling winds sped;
The day and the night were alike where 1t lay;
OF the pale winter sunshine it knew not one ray.
The white drifts all vanished one mild April day'
And frost that encased it all melted ere May;
1t sprang to the surface soon as twas freed,
And raised two green banners-the brave little seed
1t grew and it spread as the feet years went by;
II sheltered the cattle. while birds of the sky
Built nests 'mong It's leaves and there reared their
young
And the gay boys and girls on its low branches
swung.
should you sail to the East-the wide ocean Ger
And search every page offs magical lore,
You never will find more marvellous thing
Than the blossoming out of that tree in the spring
And apples grow on it. so rosy and fair
Il seemed the red sunset imprisoned lay theres
Down 'mong the tall grasses they dropped from the
tree,
Where the children would seek them with shouting
and glee.
When harvests are garnered at fall Of the year.
The corn husks all stripped from the glossy gold ear
This queen of the fruits that the season had graeed
In the cellars cool darkness carefully placed
In long winter evenings around the bright hre
The family gathered-from infant to sire;
Then apples were brought and O circular row
On the hearthstone was placed to roast in the glow
A fair, laughing maid, with keen, glancing STEEL
A ribbon would make of an apples smooth peel,
Then the fresh. supple length would use as test
OF the name of the lover who loved her the best.
Around her bright head she would give it a twirl,
Then q gentle dash downward, with twist and a
quirl;
And scofing but blushing. her shoulder lookedo Der
At the letter it made as it fell to the floor
The silver haired grandma her knitting laid down
And taking an apple all roasted and brown,
She story on story in retrospect traced,
As the dear toddlng babe she INDUCED with taste
The provident housewife made many dish
As luscious and wholesome as mortal could wish,
OF their rich, juicy pulp. Oh, wonder indeed,
Is this tale that tell of the little brown seed.

Mizpah.

Mizpah is Hebrew word derived from
the root Zaphar, and means to see, to look
up. 1t occurs frequently in the scriptures,
and many places were called Mizpah.
The 49th verse of the 31st chapter of
Genesis reads as follows: "And Mizpah;
for he said, The Lord watch between me
and thee, when we are absent one from
another"
Mizpah, therefore, is engraved in ringsy
arm bands, bracelets, amulets, and given in
the orient as a token of departing husbands
or friends to their wives, sweethearts or
lady acquaintance, indicating loyalty dur
ing the term of absence.
The 31st chapter of Genesis gives the
story of Jacob and Laban.

FIDELITY forsake a friend.
When enemies gather around, when sick
ness falls on the heart, when the world is
dark and cheerless is the time to try true
friendship They who turn FROM the scene
of distress betray their hypocrisy, and prove
that interest only moves them. IF you
have friend who loves you-who has
studied your interest and happiness-be
sure to sustain him in adversity Let him.
feel that his former kindness is appreciated,
and that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists--in
the heart. They only deny its worth and
power who have never loved FRIEND or
labored to make one happy. The good and
the kind, the affectionate and the virtuous,
